No offense, but this article seems to be very non-encyclopedic. Claiming that the regional competition is easier than the county competition, for example. It seems like the author(s) made many generalzations about the competition based upon only their own experiences. Brooke County, for example, does not have a "quantity estimation," but rather a physical estimation competition like the in the regional competition (they call it the "estimation room"). Also, I've never heard of the written test being graded out of 200 points. Although this might be the case in one school, I know it's not been the case at various school, county, regional, and state competitions. These are just several examples. It seems that the page includes far too many generalizations about the competition. I don't have the time to overhaul the page myself, but it could use it in my opinion.

The written test is 400 points, there are 40 questions, and you have one hour to complete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.69.137.21 (talk) 13:47, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
